Did you know that there are countries that have banned tourist from other countries? And it is only because of the terrorism prevailing in this world. Since, Donald Trump took office; he has listed eight countries in a new travel ban which is intended to protect Americans. Initially, he added nine countries to the travel ban which are Chad, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, North Korea and Venezuela. Later, he removed Sudan from the list because the country shared some information regarding terrorist threats and improved travel document security. Furthermore, eight of those counties – Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen and Libya – do not accept passports that contain Israeli visas. Libya also enforces a ban on Iranian, Syrian and Palestinian tourists. Somalia is the only country on President Trump’s list that doesn’t prohibit Israeli visitors, though Israelis are banned by their own government from travelling to the East African nation; along with Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Israel imposes travel restrictions on Palestinians in the Jewish state. Dozens of Israeli protesters amassed outside the US Embassy to rally against Trump’s order and the policies of their own government. According to the list of USA today, the reasons for the ban are

Chad

The White House Verdict: While Chad is an important partner in the fight against terrorists, its government does not share public-safety and terrorism-related information. The order suspends suspended travel for immigrants, business travellers and tourists.

Iran

The White House Verdict: Iran “regularly fails to cooperate with the United States Government in identifying security risks,” and that as a state sponsor of terrorism, it is a source of significant terrorist threats. The order suspended travel for all Iranians who are not students or on exchange programs.

Libya

The White House Verdict: While Libya’s government is a terrorist fighting partner, the presence of terrorists and Libya’s “challenges” in sharing public-safety and terrorism-related information was a factor in the decision to ban its citizens from traveling to the U.S. Another factor: Libya has not been “fully cooperative” when it comes to receiving Libyan nationals under orders for removal from the U.S. The order suspends Libyan immigrants, tourists and business travelers.

North Korea

The White House Verdict: North Korea does not cooperate “in any respect and fails to satisfy all information-sharing requirements.” The suspension applies to all North Korean immigrants and non-immigrant travellers.

Somalia

The White House Verdict: Somalia satisfied minimum U.S. requirements for information sharing, but has significant identity-management deficiencies and is still considered a terrorist haven. The order suspends Somali immigration and requires enhanced screening and vetting for non-immigrant travellers.

Syria

The White House Verdict: Syria’s government is a state-sponsor of terrorism that “regularly fails to cooperate” in identifying security risks while being a significant source of terrorist threats. The order suspends travel to Syrian immigrants and non-immigrants.

Venezuela

The White House Verdict: Venezuela’s government has not cooperated to identify public safety threats, does not share terrorism-related information and has not been fully cooperative in receiving nationals who had been ordered removed from the U.S. The suspension order applies to certain Venezuelan government officials and their immediate family members who are non-immigrants on business or tourist travel to the U.S.

Yemen

The White House Verdict: Although Yemen is an important partner in the fight against terrorism, its government faces significant identity-management challenges, which are amplified by the significant terrorist presence. It also does not share enough terrorism-related information, the White House said. The order suspends travel for Yemeni immigrants and tourist and business travellers.
